I misplaced the power cord for my Roland RD-100 piano. Is there a compatible cord that will work?

Ebay will put you in contact with a seller.

Board will not boot past a flashing 'BOSS' logo screen. Anyone have a clue?

The first step would be to re-initialize the unit. Here's a link to the process- BOSS Support Knowledge Base GT 10 Factory Reset Initialization

Diagram is NOT likely to help much. Look for bad soldering at the input and output jacks AND by the power input jacks. Also look for cracked circuit board and or lifted circuit etch. Lastly, the pots and the soldering around them may be part of the problem. Most of the mentioned things are 95% of the problem.

I have a Roland AC-90.

I would expect there is bad soldering or a circuit board crack. Inspect the soldering aound the leads, especially pots and heavy components. Finding all the retaining screws can be frustrating. Expect the screws for the handle to also attach to the amp chasis. They are often hiodden under plastic caps.

I have a Roland Kr-3500 that has a distortion sound after the note is played. Sounds like a reverb/distortion. The unit sounds fine when in DEMO mode and also using line IN sounds fine.

I know nothing about music, and I don't play piano, but I have played with these when they first came out. I was manager of a public hall and a shop brought a load of them for demonstration. It sounds like an Effects setting and I know that is one called 'Leslie', which if I remember correctly is the effect of a speaker spinning in a speaker enclosure.Here is your manualhttp://www.synthmanuals.com/manuals/roland/kr-3500/owners_manual/kr-3500_om.pdfService Manual and a link to Roland, to ask them direct.Roland KR-3500 Service Manual, Analog Alley Manualswww.analogalley.com > osccart > product_infoProduct: Roland Digital Intelligent Piano, model KR-3500.

Were is the main fuse on a roland ba-330

I have no idea. It is possible to download the user manual but it does not even include the word "fuse" in the entire document. US customer support for operations of these Japanese products is as follows: For operational assistance, you can contact Product Support department at (323) 890-3740. Product Support is open Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm Pacific Time. Phone support is provided for select Roland and BOSS products purchased in the U.S. only. But I do note this specifies operational support. The Roland site does offer a user manual but not a service manual.

How do i cannect my roland -09 to my PC then use FL studio or audacity with midi cables?

Do you mean the Roland E-09 or another Roland product? You need a MIDI to USB In/Out converter. Make sure that the converter is supported by the manufacturer with your OS version. One example is https://www.amazon.com/Converter-LiDiVi-Professional-Keyboard-Adapter/dp/B071KLC884 . This is a USB 2.0 device that works with Windows XP through Windows 10 and Mac OS X. A few others are reviewed here: https://www.musicrepo.com/best-selling-midi-interfaces-the-ultimate-top-10/ . You may need to be connected to the internet and allow your computer to obtain drivers for other devices. Connect the cable appropriately. Turn on the Roland device and make sure that your OS sees the USB device before launching your software. Note: Audacity can only import a MIDI file as a Note Track, https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Midi . You'll need additional software to capture the MIDI from the device. Some options are listed at the bottom of the Wiki page above. You may need to try several options to find a program that you like. The Roland E-09 manual is available here: https://www.roland.com/us/support/by_product/e-09/owners_manuals/ . Other Roland support is available here: https://www.roland.com/us/support/ . I hope this helps. I'm not familiar with FL Studio's menu. I haven't used Audacity's MIDI features. I use the software to digitize audio from Line In and microphone. Cindy Wells

My Roland Street cube amplifier has a bad speaker- where can I find a replacement speaker?

Rubber cement is an excellent for minor speaker cone damage but if you feel that a replacement is required, try MCM Electronics online. They carry lots-o-speaker replacements. Be sure to match wattage and impedance (ohms) of the speaker though as these are important spec's.

Hi, My Roland Fantom G6

Does the headphone jack work? Replacing a whole board would be expensive and the problem could be elsewhere. What was the accident? If large signals were driven back into the audio out lines, probably the output driver chip is fried... They likely use a common 8 pin dual op amp as the driver and the part costs 50 cents. It takes a little care to replace it as it is likely surface mounted. I am looking at the audio/jack board for a G-600 and there are a pair of transistors for some testing they do that could also be fried and might be the whole problem if the G-6 uses same or similar circuitry. The Fantom X6 uses very similar circuitry... Download service manual here:

http://elektrotanya.com/roland_fantom-x6.pdf/download.html

Scroll down to "get manual" and click to download. IGNORE other download links. On page 57 of 66 you will find the audio drivers at the right. They use little dual op amps M5218APF which probably are available someplace, however probably 4568's would work fine and are readily available. If you drove high voltage into the audio outs, I suspect first that the RF bypass caps such as C203 on the above schematic shorted. Simple to replace... pennies apiece... The test path transistors such as Q37 may also be shorted... Next would be IC18... While this circuit may not be the exact one for the G6 it probably is CLOSE as the several Rolands all seem to use similar circuitry. Regarding system SAFETY... Make sure ALL and I do mean ALL equipment interconnected including mixers, powered speakers, keyboards, etc. are powered from the SAME receptacle or power conditioning module to avoid accidents. Also for keyboards sent to mixers, USE DI boxes please! These protect against ground loops and these accidents.

Dropped my Roland micro cube GX and it won't power up at all what could be the problem

The most likely problem would be wiring. By dropping it you loosened or disconnected a wire.

Fix a Boss GT-10 broken input jack

what is your question? if not working, you have to open the device and find out where it is not connecting (broken solder joint? bent or worn out contacts? wire off?) and repair. or if beyond repair, order a new part.

I replace my battery in my roland xp 80 but it still say battery low on screen. what do i need to do

It's always possible the new battery had lost it's charge before it was installed. Check it with an ohm meter for it's voltage. Other than that, either the contacts in the battery holder may be in need of cleaning or the battery wasn't installed correctly.
